Well I am still hanging in there. Day 3 and it looks like I am hanging with the THEY DRAW AND COOK list so far. I am know some folks are looking for the Little Witch Series and that is going on in the background. I just haven’t decided how or when I want toContinue reading “S’MOREs and Live Critter Sunday”

Pumpkin Latte
The favorite beverage of the season isn’t just plain jane old coffee and tea. No. It has to be dressed up with frills, flavors and a lot of calories. Every time I go to Starbucks, or I go to the app to do an order for coffee, I think of Tom Hanks in “You’ve GotContinue reading “Pumpkin Latte”
Inktober, Drawtober, Artober, TheyDrawtober, Drawlloween…whatever
It’s October…again…and that must mean it’s time to do art! Ink, pencil, paint, digital. You name it, you’ll see it this month. I am not sure who really started the whole October challenge. Inktober was started as a way for one artist, Jake Parker, to challenge himself and his friends. Drawlloween was a way MabContinue reading “Inktober, Drawtober, Artober, TheyDrawtober, Drawlloween…whatever”
P is for Pretzel
I belong to an illustrator’s group and we recently had an A-Z challenge. I played with all sorts of lettering… I thought of all sorts of ideas, notes jotted, ideas written out…. but couldn’t get anything on paper until we did a Zoom last week and a pretzel was one of the objects for usContinue reading “P is for Pretzel”
Lemons and….
I belong to an illustrator’s group and a couple of times a month we get together to draw or learn a cool trick or tip. The guest this week was Jennifer Orkin Lewis and we were working in our sketchbooks, drawing a collection of objects that she had assembled. I drew mine directly from gouacheContinue reading “Lemons and….”
Flower lady
Not everything I “find” on a page is an animal. The other day I found a rose, and on this page, I found a lady with flowers, her expression showing us that maybe stopping to smell the flowers and taking that moment for a quick meditation, just may be what the “doctor” ordered.
Albert
Albert was used to being on his own, living free as a bird with no worries in the world. Then he met Esmerelda.
A rose unlike any other
I still have a bunch of prepped blobs waiting to be turned into something. This blob screamed flower. I kept trying to find a creature but this flower kept saying “me me, draw me!” So I did.
Kitty-ween
I like to make felt creatures and dabble a bit with textiles. Creating patterns and seeing how they turn out is fun. I also see what needs tweaking for the next one, but just seeing the outcome and whether or not the pattern was successful is pretty amazing. This is a nice relaxing exercise thatContinue reading “Kitty-ween”
Long beaked Cardinal
Another Imaginary Creature pulled out from the page. I drew the beak long and almost erased it, but left it because it isn’t supposed to be representational anyway. There’s a lot of angles to this guy. He uses them to hide in oak and elm trees. I also included what the page looked like beforeContinue reading “Long beaked Cardinal”
